In the picture we are looking through the bars of my patio prison cell at a dark, cold last Monday of March of 2011.
It is only 47 degrees out there.
It did not warm up enough yesterday to dry my swimming suit, which I just retrieved from the aforementioned patio.
Some time past midnight a driver went the wrong way on Interstate 30, a couple miles to the west of my location, slamming in to a tanker truck, which exploded. Both drivers were killed.
I heard nothing.
I learned this morning, in what little of the Dallas Morning New online that I can read without being a subscriber, that Dallas is getting a Heart Attack Grill
The headline, "New Heart Attack Grill in Dallas’ West End sure to give some folks heartburn" caught me eye.
I clicked on the link and was able to read the following before getting the "Get Subscriber Content access to read this story" message...
"At the Heart Attack Grill, scantily clad “nurses” will serve high-fat offerings like milkshakes rich in butterfat and quadruple-decker burgers topped with cheese and bacon. Owner Jon Basso, who founded the restaurant in Chandler,..."
I believe the word that would have come after Chandler, had I been allowed to read the article, would have been Arizona.
Chandler is where my sister lives. I must remember to ask if she and my favorite brother-in-law have been to the Heart Attack Grill. I suspect the answer will be in the affirmative. My favorite brother-in-law is a burger lover.
The Heart Attack Grill has a website where the former Court TV reporter, Terry Moran, will tell you all about the health hazards involved in eating at the Heart Attack Grill and you will see some of the scantily clad burger serving nurses.
Yesterday I said that due to the slightly cold temperatures I would likely not go swimming this morning. But, I've changed my mind and have decided to go see if I can cause myself a bad case of the shivering trembles.
Talk to you later.
Did you see that the DMN was just named "Best Big City Newspaper in Texas"? by the AP Managing Editors? They unlocked *that* whole story in the hope that those of us in the cheap seats will pony up subscriptions.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the driver of the wrong-way pickup that hit the tanker survived and will face charges. Ain't that the way ... the guy that was just doing his job burns up and the (allegedly) drunk guy that hit him walks out of the hospital under his own steam.
